A Moment in Destiny

"You should stay here for some time to relax and calm down. Don't think too much. Pregnant women should be happy and keep calm all the time,” he said in a gentle but firm tone.

"Okay!" Leila nodded.

"Arthur, Leila, time to eat. Come out!" Miss Spencer called outside.

With a smile, Arthur said loudly, "Got it, Grandaunt. Come right away!"

Then, he was silent for a while before he said to Leila, "Let’s get something to eat. You must be hungry, right? I guess you didn’t eat anything when you ran out early in the morning."

Leila bit her lips and nodded, and something dawned on her and she said, "Didn't you go home all night?"

Arthur nodded and walked to her, looking down at her. "I'm hungry. When shall we go for dinner? How long are you going to stand?" he asked.

Leila was in a trance. He was obviously trying to avoid her question. Looking at his bloodshot eyes, she knew he must not have slept last night. She sighed and went out without saying anything.

The living room was connected with the dining room. There were several plates of light and delicious food on the dining table, as well as the rice. Miss Spencer waited for them with a smile. "Arthur, what's wrong with your eyes? They are bloodshot."

"It's OK, Grandaunt. I'll go back to F City after finishing eating, and Leila will be with you!" Arthur took out the chair for Leila and he sat in the opposite.

"In such a hurry? It's not too late to leave tomorrow. Your eyes are bloodshot. No matter how busy you are, you have to rest. After dinner, you can go to the guest room and have good sleep before leaving," Miss Spencer said as she served out the soup.

"No! It's OK. It takes only a few hours!" Arthur, who didn't take it seriously, took a mouthful of soup and couldn't help praising, "Grandaunt, it's delicious. It's still the taste of my childhood! I want some more!"

"Kid, you glutton."

"Of course! Because you made such delicious soup!"

"Leila, have a bowl of soup. " Miss Spencer gave Leila a bowl with a smile.

"Well! Thank you, Miss Spencer." Leila took the spoon and said softly, looking at Arthur again. "You'd better take some rest before going back. It's not safe for you to drive like this!"

"Indeed! Since Leila cares about you so much, do you mean to refute her kindness?"

"Okay, I’ll leave at night!" Arthur said, rolling his eye. "I’ll spend the whole afternoon sleeping to gather my strength before leaving! I'm afraid you don’t want me to stay here for a long time.

"Who?"

"Well, not you. It’s Leila. I'm afraid she doesn’t want me to stay!"
